Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock?

Describe how an igneous rock may become transformed into other rock types and back into igneous rock? The Igneous Rock would have to go through many stages known as the Rock Cycle. The Rock Cycle steps would be: Igneous Rock than it would have to go threw erosion to become a Sedimentary Rock than it would have to go through Heat and Pressure to become a Metamorphic Rock. Then The Metamorphic Rock would have to go through melting to become a Molten Rock (Lave/Magma). Then finally it would have to go through cooling to become a Igneous Rock again<3[: ---♥PandaBabby69♥
